Maxtrac Spindle Lift for 2nd Gen Prerunners

Stock Luca's will be fine. The eibachs give 1.6" lift.

 

Well here is my concern - my current camber is at roughly .6 on both sides...not optimal IMO w/caster at about 2.0 on both sides. It looks like my rear cam eccentrics are almost maxed out. Front cams have a bit more adjustment left in them.

I just don't want to swap out the springs to find out that I also need to replace my UCAs afterwards. If I can get away with stock UCAs I'll be happy.

Are you running this setup? If so do you mind sharing your post alignment specs? Thanks

 

I'm running bilstein 5100s at .85 and eibachs plus spindles. I'm at 27 1/5 hub to fender and I use stock Ucas, alignment is fine but don't have measurements...2" block and 1.5" aal and tsb springs level out rear perfect

 

I had that setup. But I got light racing UCA's shortly there after.

 

Wow ok so you're at .85 on 5100s plus the Eibachs...a hair higher than I want, but if your alignment specs are ok then I should be fine lowering mine to 0 and adding Eibachs. Thanks for the feedback

 

Gotcha...I don't mind getting the UCAs...I just don't want to purchase them if it's not necessary. Thanks for the info

 

I'm sure thus question has been asked, but what is the max tire size you can fit with the spindle lift, billies all the way around, and an all pro leaf pack in the back... I know I'm wanting to run an 18" rim with these... Just trying to get tire size so I know what kind of money I'm gonna be spending

 

You will still have to trim for 285's...

 

Doh, I was hoping to put something bigger. Especially since you can put 285's on a 3" lift, I was hoping to get a little more of out this... Thanks for the info though

 

Stock bumper and cab mount will rub.

 

i actually rubbed more with these spindles than with my spacer lift beacuse it kicks your tire out a bit so u rub more on the outside

 

Well that's kind of a turn off... I wonder if I would just be better to pick up an OME 3" kit or something along those lines...

 

well lift wise if this is probably the best way to lift your truck because your getting almost 4" and everything is at stock geometry, i dont regret the spindle one bit, i love them, beefy as hell(you can't imagine how beefy they are until u get the box in the mail lol) just trim a little and you will be fine unless you go like mt's then ull have alot of trimming,but the stance these spindles give you is amazing

 

I'm running 35's on mine. Cab mount chop and a good bit of trimming and it's good. well worth the work.

 

I'll have to re-gear if I go with 35's, correct?

 

It would be wise

 

Ya, I don't want to get into all that... I'll do some more research, guess it depends on the look I'm going for...

 

33s look fine

 

I ended up regearing to 4.88's after putting on the 35's, because of the reccomendations of most people on here. Biggest mistake I ever made, a total waste of nearly $1,000. I 100% regret ever changing the stock gears.

Even my 2.7l didn't "need" a regear with 35's. It drove just fine. The only thing was that you had to downshift when going up steep hills. It wasn't any problem IMO. But I did it because everyone "recommended" it.


#1 problem with a regear. If you drive on the freeway, plan to race your engine to do the speed limit. It makes your truck feel like your driving a big rig. I absolutely hate it!


With the stock gears and 35's, my MPG actually went up! You burn more gas getting up to speed, but once you're there, the larger rotation and momentum of the large tire burn little gas and travel further distances then a smaller tire.


Once i regeared, the MPG took a shit, the driving experience took a shit, and I found myself avoiding driving my truck anywhere.


Sorry for the bitch fest. I just wish I had seen someone post this before i did it and it may have stopped me from making a huge mistake.

35's are fine on stock gears btw.

 

Do you havee any pics of your taco with 35's? And what all did you do to your lift besides Spindles... Front and back suspension?
